Not long ago I've switched from FreeBSD to Debian. As time passes, I install some packets, use them and forget to uninstall them. In FreeBSD there was a simple (dummy) way to keep only needed packets. Once in 6 months i just deleted all packages (pkg_delete -a) and then installed only those which i needed (xfce, xmms, gmplayer, etc). Is there a way to safely remove packets and their dependencies which i don't use anymore? May be there is a way to roll back to default desktop package collection?

Those packages are not needed as dependencies of other packages.

After removing that package the packages/libraries are in partition.

Last night I was installing gbrainy and while it was installing I started a fullscreen game on accident. Fullscreen games cause crashes on my intel integrated graphics (an unrelated issue) and while gbrainy was in the process of installing my computer crashed. So I had to restart. When I restarted I knew I would see broken packages so I did code...
I've tried just about everything to resolve the broken packages but I can't fix them. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
Since I'm running Sid. Let's assume package foo has been upgraded via apt-get dist-upgrade, and it causes a serious bug so that Sid is never able to fully start up, and is not even able to get me to the console to remove the package.
(Reword: let's assume that I upgraded the system despite apt-listbug warning me that foo had serious issues.)
Is it possible for me to remove the package and get back in? Everything I've seen online assumes that I could at least access console--but this hypothetical bug doesn't allow that.
If it were in Arch, I would just boot from the live dist, arch-chroot into the / directory, and try to remove foo via pacman. But Debian doesn't offer a live disk past Stable, so I suspect that this wouldn't work with a Wheezy disk?
Am I asking for an impossible situation, or can a troublesome package be removed from an unresponsive Sid?
I have a a few questions about Testing's update manager. When I go to the update manager I get a message saying "Do you want to perform a safe-upgrade, which does not remove packages or install new ones"? Will my entire system ever eventually get upgraded if I only ever do safe-upgrades? Or is there a time and a place to do non-safe upgrades? I did a non-safe upgrade a few days ago and all it did was mess with a bunch of OpenOffice packages.
Why are only certain packages selected by default when doing a non safe upgrade? Why is it that whenever I do a non-safe upgrade when it's done applying the updates the same packages I just installed are listed as available updates? Also, I used this website to build my sources.list and there apparently is some sort of "fatal error" with one of the repositories I selected. Is there a text file somewhere I can go to see a readout of apt-get bug reports?
